Baptisms
At Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church we baptize all professed believers in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Word of God teaches that we must first repent and then be baptized, (Acts 8:26-40). Since baptism gives us a very vivid picture of our sinful nature being transformed through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, we baptize by immersion. This is symbolic of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, which is a powerful testimony of us dying of our sinful nature and being raised in the newness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, (Romans 6:4 & 2Cor. 5:17).
